Sonia Gandhi's Book Reveals Candid Moments with World Leaders, Including Bill Clinton

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has shared many candid memories in her new book, Belonging: A Journey of Love. Recalling then-US President Bill Clinton's visit to India in 2000, Sonia writes that he would sometimes sneak peeks at attractive women at an event. The Monica Lewinsky scandal may have faded from the headlines, but in Sonia's words, "old habits don't go away easily." She mentions meeting Clinton at the Sheraton Hotel, saying he was affable and confident, but more interested in sharing his views on Kashmir. She described Kashmir as a "nuclear flashpoint" and one of the most dangerous places in the world. Clinton was also seen gazing at women at a banquet hosted by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Sonia's book also mentions meetings with figures such as Nicolas Sarkozy, Princess Diana. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president when he visited India in 2008, and Sarkozy, her then-partner.
